Definitive proof that squirrels are vermin that can be induced to kill themselves, much like ants and fruit flies.

I'm trying to grow Peppers from seed and everything went well until I transplanted the 2" seedlings and then 75% of them damped off. poo poo I barely watered you guys and it's been hot as hell out. I think the potting soil I got must have been bad. I sprayed with anti-fungal too. Gardening is hard.

don't water the leaves. just water the soil. watering the leaves on a hot and/or sunny day will burn many plants.

this is why watering in the morning/evening is best.

This fall I'll have about a hundred or so coriander seeds that will either become new cilantro plants or curry.

squirrel trap that my neighbor uses:

fill a barrel halfway with water and cover the surface with apples then put several boards/ramps leading up to it, wait for the squirrels to jump in and drown


i do not do this because they never really wreck my stuff but my neighbor is hardcore and salt of the earth so its always interesting to talk with him about his gardening strategies

That's like a super gruesome version of the hamster trap I used to make when I was a kid and had hamsters escape. You put down a bucket with some peanut butter at the bottom and a ramp up to the edge, and dumb rodents will harmlessly drop right in.

Well I guess not harmlessly if your intent is to drown them to death but

They didn't burn off/scorch, the tiny bit of water I put in the pot damped them off (fungal infection of the stem). My nice green robust seedlings just flopped over like a fat rich businessman's cocaine boner and withered away.

can I ask for plant advice? :blush:

I stole a twig of honey suckle, my favorite plant ever from childhood and used growth hormone to make it sprout. Its been in a ...very large pot for about 3 years now, and it just flowered for the first time this spring.

I want to plant it in my yard so it can get bigger. Its reached max size in the pot at about 3 feet.


What's the best way to plant it and let it expand without it going apeshit and just taking over everything?

I'm in 6b... I was considering putting a sheet of the hatched wood stuff on my second level deck but I was afraid the honeysuckle would make the wasps even worse there.

Maybe a trestle resting against the side of my house? the back is just that plastic siding stuff so I don't think the vines would destroy it?

I also considered a gazebo or pergola but again, worried about wasps incoming and also maybe the vines destroying the wood.


[edit] when i grew p poor we had chain link fence and it was perfect for honey suckle. That poo poo would just grow all over everything and own. Im not allowed to have a fence right now because it might block the view to my lake for the people that didn't get as good a lot as me. Makes no sense its my lot I should be able to block everyone elses views with my amazing honeysuckle but alas I would get in trouble with the home owners association.

I could, in the future, put up wrought iron fence but my neighbors probably don't want the honeysuckle on their fences because they bitches.

Can anyone recommend a plant that will thrive indoors without a lot of sun? Maybe one that would be good at keeping me company. No cacti please.

There's three off the top of my head which are practically impossible to kill and can handle the low light of indoors.

Are succulents cactus or are you just worried about spines? Get an aloe plant. Doesn't need a ton of sun or much water, but you would have some post sun burn treatment on strap yo.

Aloes tend to need full sun and might not grow so well inside. They're extremely hard to kill though!

when i was a kid we used to pick the honeysuckle blossoms and pull this little green nub that would pul the stamen through the base of the flower and there was the jasminey sweet nectar you could lick off it owned bones. I believe that's where the plant got the name from.

This is a PSA:
Do not plant invasive species in your yard. This includes but is not limited to Japanese bush honeysuckle. Not only will you not be able to control the plant itself, but rear end in a top hat birbs will eat the fruit and spread that poo poo everywhere. This is why there's a continuing program to combat invasive honeysuckle all over the midwest. Keep it in your pot.
